It started with a headline in the Guardian, some old memory of Minitel made me click. I stopped reading after I read about Félicette. A cat that went into space and came back alive.

Feels good to watch a serious person in charge of NASA. Possibly the only one in this government.

A rubbish challenge: how do we dump space junk? Modern life depends on space-based infrastructure, but there’s a lot of junk orbiting alongside working spacecraft. Katherine Courtney and Alice Gorman talk to Margaret Harris about the danger of #SpaceDebris – and what we need to do about it: https://physicsworld.com/a/a-rubbish-challenge-how-do-we-dump-space-junk/ (looong).

Amazing how a demonstrably bad idea can still pull in massive funding.
SpaceX's orbiting data center is one such idea. Space isn't "cold", it's a vacuum, the same thing that makes high-performance insulated tumblers work so well. In orbit, shedding heat will be a bigger problem than any faced on earth, such as supplying electricity.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a global treasure. Watching his interview with the CBC in relation first to the significance of the Canadian on the Artemis II and on the mission in general is really a delight.
A truly masterful communicator.

Extremely active Sun from 1190 to 1220 in the Medieval Period - intercomparison of historical records and tree-ring carbon-14: #SpaceWeather: https://www.oist.jp/news-center/news/2026/4/10/medieval-japanese-poetry-and-buried-trees-help-elucidate-volatile-space-weather - combining carbon-14 measurements taken at the highest level of precision with historical literature lays a new foundation for studying unpredictable and hazardous solar proton events.
The idea that the shape of our solar system is rare is very interesting.

If China was a democratic country then perhaps you could say the roles of the cold war had somehow reversed, with China being the obvious technological leader in the world, while the USA tries desperately to hold on to its empire, and relevance through naked aggression.
But going to an english-language chinese news site and seeing talk of spacewalks and space stations really drives home how history has kind of flipped.

The Artemis II mission also set a record for "most accomplishment with least attention".
Thanks Mr. President. We couldn't do it without you. 🙄
